Rotational loads are definitely linked to the reactive power readings in distribution network.
Are there any direct or indirect relationships derived between the two?
Induction motors are the main rotating loads at LV distribution node. Allowing only needed H.P and running with rated loading the power factor could be improved with reduced reactive power demand….
Not the answer I am looking for, but thank you for your kind response! To clarify further- of course IMs account for the major part of the distribution system rotational load and they have a major influence on the reactive power. But there could be so many other loads as well (with a reactive component, not to forget the lines themselves). Is there any research available establishing a relation between the reactive power measurements at LV nodes in distribution network and the downstream rotational (and/ or reactive) loads?
Dear Utkarsh Singh ,
In LV distribution networks, reactive power is not efficient in modifying electrical parameters due to X/R ratio of conductors. Although works discuss the effects on voltage in LV, IM tends to generate voltage problems like undervoltage.
